Reading from Google Docs
I have loaded the XML package. Should the function not be xmlTreeParse? Look at this
library(XML)
help(xmlParse)
No documentation for 'xmlParse' in specified packages and libraries:
you could try 'help.search("xmlParse")'
help.search("xmlParse")
Help files with alias or concept or title matching 'xmlParse' using
fuzzy matching:
supportsExpat(XML) Determines which native XML parsers are being
used.
xmlEventHandler(XML) Default handlers for the SAX-style event XML
parser
xmlParent(XML) Get parent node of XMLInternalNode or ancestor
nodes
xmlStopParser(XML) Terminate an XML parser
xmlTreeParse(XML) XML Parser

From the XML package.
You had asked where I got the idea to enter "con$getDocs()". I got it from run.html. But now that you bring the words "In the future, we might" to my attention I can see that I should not have tried it.

Great. I have previously installed 7zip.
It worked well. I installed the files. See below (way below).
When I entered >library(RGoogleDocs)
it did not run.
So I just ran auth.R
Then I was able to run
auth <-getGoogleAuth("fjbuch at gmail.com","mypassword")
con = getConnection(auth)
con$getDocs()
all worked until this point when I got
Error in con$getDocs : $ operator not defined for this S4 class
str(con)
Formal class 'GoogleDocsConnection' [package ""] with 0 slots list()
If you use getDocs(con) it should work, assuming auth and con are appropriate. Where did you see that con$getDocs() should work? In the documentation file run.xml, there is the line " In the future, we might provide an interface that avoids this such as con$getDocs() ... " So, as it says, it is in the future. D.
I have just seen Prof Brian Ripley's correspondence. I had installed RCurl and XML from the Tinn-R "R controlling:packages" button. It appears to me that I need to check out R-admin manual. Is there a simple generic r script that I could run to determine if my RCurl and XML are running properly? ================================================================================ C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.2\library\RGoogleDocs\ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- inst <DIR> 12/15/2008 17:27:57 R <DIR> 12/15/2008 17:27:57 DESCRIPTION 777 9/24/2008 12:47:59 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 file(s), 2 folder(s) 777 bytes ================================================================================ ================================================================================ C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.2\library\RGoogleDocs\inst\ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- doc <DIR> 12/15/2008 17:27:57 sampleDocs <DIR> 12/15/2008 17:44:07 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 file(s), 2 folder(s) 0 bytes ================================================================================ ================================================================================ C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.2\library\RGoogleDocs\inst\doc\ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- basics.html 5,867 9/24/2008 11:27:38 basics.pdf 8,873 9/24/2008 11:30:51 basics.xml 3,504 9/24/2008 11:27:34 GNUmakefile 39 9/24/2008 11:24:44 run.html 14,150 9/24/2008 12:46:41 run.pdf 13,643 9/24/2008 12:44:39 run.xml 9,257 9/24/2008 12:44:23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 file(s), 0 folder(s) 55,333 bytes ================================================================================ ================================================================================ C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.2\library\RGoogleDocs\inst\sampleDocs\ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SampleDoc.doc 22,016 9/24/2008 12:44:23 SampleSpreadsheet.xls 17,408 9/24/2008 12:44:23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 file(s), 0 folder(s) 39,424 bytes ================================================================================ ================================================================================ C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.2\library\RGoogleDocs\R\ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- auth.R 8,183 9/24/2008 12:44:23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 file(s), 0 folder(s) 8,183 bytes ================================================================================ Farrel Buchinsky GrandCentral Tel: (412) 567-7870 On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 17:12, Gustavo Carvalho <gustavo.bio+R at gmail.com> wrote:
Hello, You can probably extract a .tar.gz using 7zip on Windows. Regards, Gustavo. On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 8:07 PM, Farrel Buchinsky <fjbuch at gmail.com> wrote:
I saw a thread from September 24 in which Duncan Temple Lang told us:
- The package currently has no Rd files, but there is a brief "user's
guide". The package is available from
http://www.omegahat.org/RGoogleDocs
I could not find it by using Tinn-R or RGui's package install tool.
Then when I went to the website I saw that package is only available
as
http://www.omegahat.org/RGoogleDocs/RGoogleDocs_0.1-0.tar.gz
To my knowledge tar.gz is only for Linux. Does this mean that I cannot
run it on a windows machine. Please tell me that there is a way to run
it on a Windows machine.
